  mentoring_philosophy: 'My mentoring philosophy centers on training critical thinking. Beyond technical skills, I encourage trainees to ask meaningful questions, evaluate evidence, and consider alternative interpretations. I aim to provide guidance while fostering independence, helping mentees take ownership of their projects and defend their ideas. By cultivating curiosity, resilience, and intellectual rigor, I seek to prepare trainees not only as capable researchers but also as adaptable problem-solvers who can contribute creatively in any career path.'

  overall_research_project_description: 'DNA damage repair is essential to maintain genome stability and prevent cancer development. SUMOylation is a posttranslational modification, and many DNA damage repair proteins are SUMOylated. However, the function of this protein modification in DNA damage repair remains unclear. This project will use molecular, genetic, and imaging methods to understand how SUMOylation controls the localization of DNA damage repair proteins at damage sites to facilitate damage repair. Results from this project will reveal new mechanisms to maintain genome stability.'
